Abstract

An Euler-Bernoulli beam in vertical position rotating about its symmetry axis along its length is considered. The angular velocity is assumed to have small fluctuations about a constant mean velocity. The partial differential equation of motion is derived first. The equation is cast into a non-dimensional form. The natural frequencies are calculated for the pinned-pinned case. Principle parametric resonances such that the fluctuation frequency being close to two times one of the natural frequencies are considered. By employment of the Method of Multiple Scales, an approximate perturbation solution is found. The frequency response diagrams are drawn and the bifurcation points for transition from the trivial solution to the non-trivial solution are calculated. The conditions for which such resonances occur are exploited in the numerical results.
